KARACHI – The Sindh High Court has issued notices to the government and law enforcement agencies, seeking their responses in ongoing cases concerning missing persons. The hearing was conducted under the supervision of Acting Chief Justice Zafar Ahmed Rajput.
During the proceedings, a petitioner’s lawyer informed the court that Saad Alam went missing after visiting a barber near Ferozabad Police Station and has not returned home. Despite a missing person report filed by his father-in-law, no leads have emerged, and his phone remains switched off. The court inquired whether Alam might have left voluntarily, but the lawyer confirmed that he only went out for a haircut.
